Today is our first full day of Leadership conference here in my hometown of San Antonio. Yesterday was just a partial day of Make and Takes and Manager’s Reception. I was BEAT when I got home because I worked a full day before I headed down town. Hopefully, today will be better! I made two …
OK, I think this just might be the last Christmas Card. Not sure I can pull another one out this year! This one is non traditional colors as well. I tend to stick to the old standard of red and green, but this week, I’ve started to stray. I’m ready for spring I suppose! LOL! …
Brrrr! It’s finally cold here in South Texas! I made this week’s HSS card while freezing and wishing we had snow every now and then instead of just a wet cold. Ha! Oh well… This weeks color challenge is fun and fresh! Create a card or project using blushing bride, pool party, pear pizazz, and …

Today’s card was inspired by Shellie Gardner’s August Challenge. A “thinking of you” is probably the most important card you can send out. Those people who may be down or having a hard time would be so touched by the fact that you have thought and prayed for them. I really need to keep more …

Today’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is so fun! I love sewing on my cards and scrapbook pages, but don’t always do it out of shear laziness! It’s not hard, it’s just that I don’t like getting out the sewing machine, threading it, sewing and then putting it all back! But, my new scrapbook room …
This was a card that came out of just playing around. i wasn’t trying to make anything for the Artisan Award, but I ended up loving it so much I added it to the box! I love stick pins! This one has a small flower punch and a rhinestone added to it! I also used …
I was very on the fence with this card when trying to decide what to send in for the Artisan Award. But, I love this ribbon technique and decided to go with it. This is the In Color Ribbon. I cut the edges off and then pulled all the fibers out. It’s kind of “crimped” …
Hello from Memphis! I am here visiting my parents. Or, maybe I should say, I have delivered their precious grandchildren to them while I sit and snooze for 7 days! 🙂 Today’s card is just Black and White which was last week’s challenge at Just Add Ink. The sketch I used is from The Sweetest …

Who doesn’t love a good sharp pair of scissors?? I sure do. And as a teacher, and a crafter, I know how quickly those new scissors go dull or walk off! So, I made my girls’ teachers a few pairs of cute scissors that no one will be able to walk away with! I added …
This week at Stampin’ Celebration, the color pallet is Pink and Green. I immediately think of my first apartment in college. My room was pink and green. I hated it at first (it was already like that) but eventually loved it. This inspiration picture reminds me of that room: I chose to make a baby …
